The hit and run accident occurred on November 13th, in the area of Ohio and Prescott. A Ford Taurus driven by a 75-year old woman from Sylvan Grove, was southbound on Ohio and was struck in the rear by Miller driving the Buick LeSabre. Both vehicles pulled into the Braum’s parking lot on 656 S. Ohio St.
Police say Miller asked the woman not to call the police and then drove away without providing information. There were no injuries and only minor damages for both vehicles.
